Do all estates go through probate? No. Some esta Do all estates go through probate?

No.

Some estates can avoid probate entirely, while others may qualify for a simplified process. Whether probate is required depends largely on how assets are owned and whether proper planning was done in advance. Thoughtful estate planning can help reduce delays, control costs, and, in some cases, avoid probate altogether.

Understanding these distinctions can make a meaningful difference for families and fiduciaries navigating estate administration.
Administering an estate is rarely a quick or simpl Administering an estate is rarely a quick or simple task. For many families, the process can take close to a year and involves far more than filing paperwork.

Estate administration often includes winding down a business or partnership, selling real property, resolving outstanding tax filings, and addressing ongoing legal matters. Throughout this process, responsibilities are shared between the legal team and the client, with each role playing a critical part in keeping things moving forward.

Understanding who handles what, and when, helps reduce confusion, avoid delays, and set realistic expectations from the start. With guidance from Fegreus & Broderick, LLP, clients can navigate each stage of estate administration with greater clarity and confidence.
